So you’re tired of walking out of the theater and thinking that movie you just paid $20 to see made “Police Academy 2” look like the “The French Connection”?
Then check out the entertaining movie reviews from Steve Willett at www.rantrave.com.
Willett on “The Beach,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio: “If you are planning on taking a trip for a nice relaxing time, first find out where Leonardo DiCaprio is going and then pick the farthest possible place on Earth.”
Willett on “Out of Sight,” with George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez: “This movie drags like a solar powered race car during an eclipse.”
Willett on “Vanilla Sky,” with Tom Cruise: ” ‘Vanilla Sky’ is the feel-good movie of the year if you have just attached yourself to a Thorazine IV drip and had a NyQuil chaser.”
$10,000 TO THE BIGGEST PHONY: Experts have been debating the discovery of an ancient tablet. But if the Jehoash inscription is authentic, it would be the first royal Israelite inscription ever discovered.
Still, the Biblical Archaelogical Review is holding a “Create a Fake” contest, to test the controversial issue of forgery detection. And if you mock up the best-looking phony and fool their experts, you get $10,000.
See the June issue of the Review at www.bib-arch.org for more details.
